- In this video we diagnose a volkswagen golf 6 which heater blows cool air from the driver side heater vent while hot is selected!
We learn how to diagnose this problem using scan-data.
We also get a lesson in Thermistors!
And of course DiagnoseDan Fixes the car! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Dan, fantastic explanation and demo! Did you have formal training in circuit theory?
Thanx Ivan, i am autodidact actually.
Being an autodidact is the best way to learn IMO. I was an electrician before I started working on cars so this kind of stuff all makes a lot of sense to me already. The thing that I had to learn myself is how all these electrical components are actually controlling stuff in the car like the engine or transmission. Learning it yourself is great because you develop greater insight in specific things than if someone were to teach you ;)
Your an awsome technician/mechanic Dan
@@@Diagnosedan Now, when I found out that you're autodidact..., I like you even more!!! Amazing stuff..., like usual... :-)
I love to learn from you. And funny thing, one of my nephews asked me this morning if I know what could be the problem with his car, same thing like here, only it is on the right side. I knew I saw this title in your videos, just got back home, found it, watched it and now I'm sending the link to him in...Europe...
Thank you. You the man..., again!
@@@arnobruynen6073 110% agree with you, brother Arno!
Dan, I must say you are a great teacher! We need more great techs like you in the world!
Thank you for that great comment 👍💪
Dan another fantastic video. I'm also enrolled in Paul Danners on line instructional class and between your explanation and Paul's you have visually cleared up all my questions of the flow of electricity thru positive and negative flow resistors. It's great to see an opposite flow as the resistor heats up the resistance drops and voltage flows to ground. Really enjoy your video and the visual explanations. Cheers
Thanks Arthur, Nice comment. Great that people are able to learn from CZcams!
This is probably one of the greatest problem-explanation-solution videos out there. Thank you very much!
Thanks!
As a Mechanic myself, I can only say that you are a real professional!
Awesome troubleshooting thinking Dan, thank you for teaching in detail this process to fix cars!👍🏼 I like your sense of humor too!😆
Excellent explanation of how the thermistor ckt works inside of the PCM. You do such an excellent job of explaining the way things work Dan! Loved this video!
Thanks!😊
NTC type sensor. Negative Temperature Coefficient. < temperature rises : ohmic resistance drops>. Great videos b.t.w. Dan.
My VW had the same problem, I tested it exactly like you did with the same results. Sensor changed, problem solved, thanks a million Dan!
I was definitely enlightened a notch more with your explanation & break down. I truly like the manner in which you go out of your way to set up your own demonstration, to really drive the theory home.
Thanks for watching my video's it's appreciated! I really hope my video's might help some people!
Just excellent...Thank You Dan for whatever you have been teaching us, the DIY mechanics...Keep doing it..Thank you again...
No problem 💪👍
Dan, awesome video. I've been VW dealer tech for 12 years and that was well done my friend.
Thank you so much Steve, Nice thing to hear from a VW tech!😁
Excellent description of a thermistor circuit function and diagnosis. Simple explanation and easy o understand. Great video.
I'm amazed. By far the best diagnostic instruction I've seen.
Excellent troubleshooting and tutorial! Also loved the fact that you're diagnosing a VW Golf 6, as that's what I have.
Excellent fault finding and teaching methods. Thanks for sharing and please keep making these videos - they're great.
Fantastic channel! Im studying bachelor/master autotechnology in Belgium and this helped me a lot to learn more about the NTC resistor ( thermistor). Keep up the good work! Greetz, Cédric
You got some good techs following your channel. Ive been watching them for years. I know you'll have 100k subs soon.
Richard Gill That would be Great!😉
That was a great demonstration Dan!
South Main Auto Repair, Thanks Eric!👍
Really love how you make these videos as you were making a video for teaching a class. Well, in some ways you are, earned a sub !
Great explanation of the workings of a thermistor Dan 👍
hey watching form australia! I love your videos honestly im a mechanic myself worst at diagnosing these issues cause our education here isnt about learning its about making companies money! so im learning heaps from you! wow bit mind boggling at the start but awesome content :) keep it up! wish i had a mentor like yourself!
Thanks for the kind words!👍
Very nice diagnosis and tutorial on thermistor operation. Thanks Dan!
Thanx buddy🎄Merry Christmas😊
Thank you for the time and effort you put into your videos every day is a learning day, God bless.
Thanks Vincent and merry Christmas to you and your family!
Once again, excellent video... I wish you and your skills were around when I was wrenching on cars...
Thanks Dan, this video helped me to fix the cold air blowing on driver side on my RH Audi A5 2010. It was the thermistor in the side vent that was faulty, wouldn’t have been able to diagnose without your help. 👍🏽
Hi Bap Athwal. I have audi A5 2.0tdi, 2015. Same problem like this one, cold drivers side and warm on the passengers side . It is hard to find the right diagnostic , so everyone is guessing in my place. Please tell me, so you had the exact same problem as from the video, i mean you fix it with the sensor replacement? How much time and money did it cost you? Thank you !
@@ivicaslavkovski3251 yes I had the same problem as in the video.
I removed the thermistor got the exact part number printed on it and looked on eBay, I got a used one for around £10. Make sure it’s the same part number otherwise you may have issues. It’s easy to remove and replace, just twist it and lift up and it comes out. As I done it myself it was only the cost of the part. Hope that helps.
@@bapathwal7297 thank you , i will do that
Dan, thanks for the video. I just had the issue, followed your plan and the A/C system is working fine again.
thank you so much for going into great details on how the systems work... for us guys really wanting to understand how it all functions is key.. thank you
Really good diagnostics, advice & video's Dan! - SUBSCRIBED. Keep up the great work..
Thanks for Subscribing!👍
Vraiment , c'est du bon travail par un très bon technicien. Merci Dan .
Merci
Hi, Dan
For the past year, I’ve struggled with my 2011 MK6 Golf regarding the issue you address in this video.
Last winter, I had a problem with water getting in my car at the passenger’s feet area - apparently, through some clogged lines that were supposed to drain the water from the sunroof under the car.
At about the same time, I realised my car won’t heat the passenger area at all, no matter what settings I used for the climatronic.
Went to a mechanic and he took my whole dashboard apart, he said it was an issue with the heat core being clogged. My car was finally blowing heat into the passenger area.
Exactly one year later, I realised my car was doing the exact same thing - only blew cold air in the passenger area. Went to the same mechanic, he told me he unclogged some lines / something (no dashboard removal this time) and the car blew nice, hot air through all the air vents...for a couple of days.
I’m now in the situation that my car blows cold air through ALL the right side (passenger’s) of the car (including the back side).
I didn’t reach a VAG COM diagnose tool until now, but I suspect there is no fault code about this.
What do you recommend me to do first?
Car in discussion is MK6 Golf, 1.4/90kw, Climatronic, LHD.
Thank you!
Check the scantool data, temperature a.o. 😊
DAN i want to work with you everyday to gain all the knowledge you have. Your awesome man
😊😊😊😊
You simplify any issue to make it easy. love the vids please post alot more more frequent! Also love the communication diagnostics since they are never simple but your vids have helped tons!
@@jakehamilton2427 thanks Jake👍
@@Diagnosedan Right now ive got a 06 c55 amg mercedes. Car had a new battery installed 2 months ago now esp off, no communication with abs, & stuck in first gear
@@jakehamilton2427 😱
Another great video! Keep them coming. I'm learning a lot! Thank you Dan!
chirt1453 Thanks for the nice comment!
Thanks Dan - you're a LEGEND!!
This is an absolutely great video.
Cheers, Bill.
Excellent white board demonstration and clear teaching. My only complaint is I wish you made more videos!
You are so right, i wish i could make more video's but the truth is that i've got so little time i'm actually shooting some of my video's at night😪
Cheers, Dan. Great content and presentation as always.
Thanks William!
Hi dan, you know the thing is this: i've write a manual to go along with a lot of explanation with the intent of touching every subject needed for diagnosing. So i know how fast you think and how much is hard to explain everything so slowly and throught.
I really appreciate your efforts :)
Thanks that's a great comment! It is hard because there are viewers watching of all levels, so i don't want to go to fast or deep for the people who are starting doing diagnostics and i don't want to make it to boring for the experts!
You are doing a flawless job going through the mind processes behind diagnosis. Hope i made myself clear, it's been a while since i've wrote something in english XD
@@planet1250 ha ha🤣 Your doing great.
another great diagnostic video. hope to see more. i like the way you explain stuff
Haroon Khan Thank you😉
Thank you Dan. Good job. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Merry Christmas Billy!
Dan you're a genius. Excellent video
i love your videos and you are genius dan! Unbelievable you are self taught wow!
Thank you Thank you!!!! I'll trying my new thermistor first thing in the morning. Fingers crossed, but I believe it's safe to say you most likely saved me alot of time and cash! Thx sir.
Very educational and good diagnosis Dan, thank you
Thanks Paul😉
Great job Dan and good New Year to you and your family.
Thank you Tam, merry Christmas buddy. Enjoy the Hollidays with your family!🎄😉👍
Nice video & diagnosis Dan!

Thank you DiagnoseDan ! You have been of great help! I had the same problem and swich the passanger side senzor with the driver one and the problem changed sides.
Same car golf?I have audi a3 2009
@@sohailzafir3077 Yes golf mk6 2010.I believe the climatronic termistors are the same in all models from vag.
@@ponpyka0 hi would this n the first and easiest thing to check as the driver side throws warm air and passanger side is cold.swap the resistors over
What a diagnostic! Superb, thank you Mate! ;)
Fantastic man . Fantastic presentation. I adore you man.
Great video! Helped me diagnose a faulty sensor on my Passat B6 using VCDS😃
That's fantastic!
Great analysis and explanation!
Thank you!
Great video Dan, thanks for explaining it so clearly. Hoping that this is the problem with my Skoda Octavia (2016) and not the Heater Matrix 🤞👍
What was it ? Have the same Car and problem
Another great video Dan, thanks for shared
canh lam thank you
Thank you dan for all the information
Thanks Dan, excellent explanation
Great video! Extremely helpful
Thank you! It's the exact problem I was having!
Peter Muller 🤣🤣🤣
Nice work Dan
Well explained Dan!
Ozzstar
Thanks Glen!😉
Thanks, very helpful video. Replaced this sensor, now everything is ok
Another good video. I was expecting to see a low resistance on the bad sensor compared to the new sensor when you did the Ohm test because the sensor was reading a high temperature.
😉
Blessing
This is high technology
Am blessed watching you videos
Thank you!😊
Multumesc Dan,foarte inspirată demonstrația...
Thanks!
i did electronics ,i am really understanding the application.well done
Thanks!
Finally a new one! Thanx Dan!
Yep! hope you liked it John!

Thank you!
Thank you for the great explanation. Subbed.
Great video & presentation!
Thanks Thomas! Merry Christmas buddy🎄.
Had the same problem on a vw golf 5 , drive side blowing cold air. I changet that sensor, it fixed. Thanks for help !
Well thank you so much for the detailed explanation. You are like the Bill Nye of auto. Perfect. This is exactly what my 2015 passat tdi is doing. Can I assume the location of these failed parts is the same on my car as the one you have described? Thank you so much.
Thank you for another great video!
And thank you for the nice comment Mike!
I don't know if you have current videos, however I find it interesting how knowledgeable you are. Electrical is my main problem but I am learning gradually from your videos.
09 Porsche cayenne 3.6L ignition switch works key on accessory position but couldn't crank up. Starter good, relay good? Help!!
What I like to do when diagnosing sensors like this, is to see if the read-out changes when I disconnect the sensor.
If nothing happens, then the sensor is toast.
Also, if your scan tool knows the range of the sensor, and the read-out is spot on the outer limits, you can tell if it's a sensor fault, wiring, or (in the case of an AC pressure sensor) the gas pressure is too low.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent demonstration. Wish you could simulate/diagnose or give advise on an Audi A3 tfsi, 2l. Temp sensor read -39 degrees and fan came on immediately after start up (no 5v referencing circuit)...
As a precaution and due to past problems, I changed both temperature sensors and water pump (previous pump had a leak). Now I have 5v referencing but fan fails to switch on. Don't see any relays or fuses connected to the fan. My take is the fan is working properly because the faulty sensor is able to switch it on. Don't know where to search for the fan control module. Any advice.
Absolute legend mate 👌🏽
I Love this cind of videos. Regards from Sweden
ANOTHER FANTASTIC DIAGNOSIS !
A useful video - remember that automotive thermistors are usually NTC (negative temp coefficient), so resistance falls as temp rises, allowing current to flow to ground.
Nice work, ive had a similar problem with a MK7 GTD, checked the temps on the Diag, both reading correct temps, also checked the temp control module as thought it could possibly be a broken actuator, but that alos seems to be doing its job, tried recalibrating, again no problems seem to surface, i have two fault codes which are B10CD00 and P171900 . just wondered if you've ever faced this issue before
I've the same fault codes , did you ever get to the bottom of it . I've warm on the passenger side and Cold on the driver side .
Splendid explanation thank you thank you thank you!!!
Very helpful Dan
Thank you for the great explanation
Thank you so much for the video but I've the other way around the pilot side is hot and the passenger is cold, no matter what temperature I set on the pilot side it doesn't changed the passenger side works fine, could be the sensor? Or the blend door? I'm also getting hot on the middle of the console left vent
Good Dan, happy christmas to you trust you 100%.
benzman 113 Thanks and merry Christmas!
Thank you Diagnose Dan. My sister has a 2012 vw tiguan. She was told by vw dealer heater core is faulty. I checked both lines of heater core and both are hot. She has hot air on drivers side vents and cold air on passenger side. Does a 2012 tiguan have thermistors ? If so.how many? And where exactly is the one for the passenger side ducts/vents? Thank you if you could help
Love the detailed breakdown in the video! I am looking for a solution on my mk6 gtd 2010. All blow stages work, same fan speed. But I can get no proper heat. Vent temperature reading are Left 26°C and Right:23°C. What could be the issue? Also no error codes
Hi dan brilliant video I’m having the exact same problem on A MK7 Golf GTD
whats the exact sensor I need as soo many different sensors come up under temperature sensor
Thanks
Hey guys so I have a question, as I was driving(road trip California-Illinoi) in my 2012 GLI, heater started blowing cold air on passenger side vents and middle but not the driver side vent by the door, how can I troubleshoot that ? Or any idea what could be possibly wrong ? Thank you for your time. Also awesome video keep up the work.
Thank you,
Since you touched on the VW , I hope to diagnostic everything related to the Touareg Transmission and gearbox delay and kicking when changing gears No. 1, 2 and 3
My Regards
Excellent explanation!
I have a 06 passat b6, and I can't get hot air even when the temperature is set to high, can you help?
Thanks for the great service
Thanks for a great video!
Hi Dan, thanks for this excellent tuto, I had the same problem on my 2012 Skoda Superb 2.0 tdi , however, I performed all tests as per your instruction but all seems to be good and still have the same issue, cold air on one side. What are the next steps you´d recommend me in order to progress on this issue?
